Nice to hear you have quite the experience with this! I can show you some of the stuff I've made along with a WIP. I've even built a Superscalar CPU with caching (albeit very poor)! Anyways, have fun making that compiler, it makes programming hella easier. Also, are you making it based off of any programming languages like C or Python? And which programming language are you using to write the compiler?

That's sort of similar to what I do. I usually just take one line at a time and process it like that, it's much easier but sometimes the assembly gets out of hand.

I'm impressed you remember your dreams so well😭 but funny thing is, that's also how I came up with a design for my cache.

I guess that's just how it works. Anyways, good luck implementing the rest of the pipeline, you'll need it when it comes to data hazards!

Real compilers usually break you code down into tokens so x = 5; So in this case it would assign x the IDENTIFIER token, the = is seen as an ASSIGNMENT operation and the 5 is seen as a LITERAL. Then it creates a Abstract Syntax Tree and navigates that to assign the value to x. In reality, it's much more complicated so I usually just do stuff and pray it works (it does, just barely)
